Ok, first of all, I am new at this, so this could very easily be something I've missed or don't understand, but I am lost right now. Guess I should explain the whole thing.
I have a server running Ubuntu 12.04.1, and I want to use it for torrents. At first I put just deluge on there, and used the GUI to download torrents, however I don't always have a monitor on this server, and No Machine is a bit slow, so I wanted to manage torrents from my main desktop. I got WebUI running, however I was still running the GUI version of deluge on my main user account on the server. At this time, I had the torrents downloading to
.
Then I learned more about running the daemon. So after reading several guides on setting it up and using an Upstart Job to start it at boot with a new user account "deluge", I set that up. I had trouble at first, and couldn't get WebUI working, and I eventually had to do
, and start from scratch. After I did this, I got the daemon running (I didnt even install the GUI this time) and got WebUI to start with default settings. I changed the default download location to
(I also redid some hard drives during all this, and this is basically the same location as before, just a different mount point, and has been formatted to ext4 now as opposed to NTFS).
After a bit of tweaking, I got it all running perfect! I did notice that the port values I set in the WebUI on my desktop didn't seem to save, but I changed them in the core.conf file in
(home directory for the deluge account) and that seemed to take. For about 2 days it worked perfect, I could add a torrent with DelugeSiphon in Chrome on my desktop, it sent it to the WebUI and it started immediately. I also had the Extractor plugin working. However, out of nowhere, and with no config changes, my torrents started trying to download to
again...and this location no longer exists since I redid the drives, so it was trying to write to my OS drive, which is only 80 gigs, and on top of that, the deluge user has no permissions there anyway, so it error-ed out. If I checked the download location in the WebUI, it still showed the correct location, if I checked the core.conf, it also had the correct location. I was stumped, I have no idea where it is pulling that location from! It also won't save a new password for the webui on one PC...another PC it did, but my desktop will only log in with the default... It seems to be pulling random settings from no where, and won't save half the settings. What am I doing wrong here?
